OK, here we go:

Canyonlands (using NAND) without this patch:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 339324   20044  336384  695752   a9dc8 ./u-boot

and with this patch:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 339796   20044  336384  696224   a9fa0 ./u-boot

So it's 472 bytes on this platform.

Best regards,
Stefan
